Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 225 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 15 grams butter (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat until smooth, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 3 eggs together. Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, stirring continuously.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture gently over the brownie batter in the pan, ensuring an even layer.
Top the cream cheese layer with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it evenly to cover the filling. Lightly swirl the layers with a knife for a marbled effect (optional).
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.
To make the chocolate glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat just until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate and 15 grams of butter. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Pour the glaze over the cooled brownie cake, letting it drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.
Let the glaze set for 15-20 minutes at room temperature before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
